i just read some reviews on target.com and it looks like the Haier NuCool isnt all that dependable. anyone ever had a problem with these things not cooling?

so the Haeir NuCool has no hump in the back? where could i pick something like this up? price?

what about the hump at the back of all the mini fridges?

wow only 2.8 c.f. i figrued i would be looking at atleast 5.5 or so. what kind of temp control did you use? and how easy was the wiring?

like alot of other people ferm temps are getting the best of me. seem a simple fridge with a thermostat is the way to go. dose anyone know of any fridges that fit a 6 gallon better bottle? or what the minimum inside deminsions need too be? i would just measure my better bottle but i dont have it...

my graff is all bottled and carb'd. it fermented too hot, somewhere around 75, due to the hot ferm. temp. and just pure lazyness the graff sat in the fermenter for about 5 weeks. but it still tastes great, nice foamy head with a malty yet tart taste. i think next time i will not use hops. this...

my bad, ment 1/2oz. and the graff has taken off and no nasty rhino fart smell. so thats a plus.

so i did an attempt at EdWorts recipe, its on day 3 now and to be honest it smells almost like rotten eggs. the wine is cloudy (i know its supposed to be) and it has about a half inch of foam on the top. yesterday i looked at it and it had big bubbles on top. almost like an infection would but...

okay well this is my first brew so chaulk another lesson learned up on the board :) thanks for the reply edit: i knew it was too early for it to be finished but i didn't think it would cause it to taste sweet just thought it wouldn't be fully carbed. i guess you learn something new everyday huh?

wheat has a "spicy" taste. if you like spicy use more wheat, if your not such a big fan of "spicy" use less wheat. i'm just starting out, so i cant really answer your question but i have an american wheat ale in bottles right now. i used wheat DME at 65% wheat 35% barley.
